I am numb to everything except the tears that burn my cheeks.The anxiety pierces my head and the deafening pressure builds in my ears, I need release!But my granite limbs will not move. They are as heavy as my heart.My mind spins with suffocating thoughts. It is almost to much effort breathe.A small light within me wants to believe in hope, but I don't dare start.For the onset of reality will only leave me with further to fallSo instead, I lock my mind and pretend that all is right.As the dreamer inside me screams from within my tormented mind,I will pretend that I am all right and ignore the deafening lull Of white noise now within.Fate can be a cruel teacher even more so To the unwilling scholar.I should continue fighting I knowBut I can't any more today. For now I must rest.Peace and stillness will silence the crying that can no longer Be controlled.
